Emerson Network Power Introduces SMA Quick-Connect Plug Adapters

Quick-connect plugs provide rapid test connections to devices utilizing SMA threaded jacks

Bannockburn, IL -- Emerson Network Power Connectivity Solutions is introducing a new line of SMA Quick-Connect Plug Adapters. The plugs quickly mate to standard, threaded SMA jack receptacles, allowing rapid test connections to devices utilizing SMA threaded jacks.

SMA electrical performance is not compromised because the SMA Quick-Connect Plug Adapters retain all the benefits of a threaded coaxial coupling. The final connection is a solid metal-to-metal coupling not relying on spring forces to maintain the coupling. This results in a more reliable connection with less signal leakage and lower VSWR than typical push-on connectors.

Full MIL-C-39012 electrical compatibility is obtained with a push and twist motion. The Quick-Connect Plug Adapters have a knurled thumbnut, which requires only one-half to one full turn to create a solid electromechanical connection. Rapid disconnect is accomplished with a twist-and-pull motion.

"Our new line of SMA Quick-Connect Plug Adapters converts a standard SMA Plug test cable into a Quick-Connect cable. This makes the testing process more efficient by reducing the time and effort required to connect and disconnect the test cable," said Brian G. Mason, president of Emerson Network Power Connectivity Solutions.
